there was a gentleman who called an earlier demonstrating -- denigrating harry reid. but also bring up the fact that the senate has been redefined with new rules by the republicans to have a super majority rather than the 51 that is necessary. they had dictated it is 60 votes necessary. that is why he has not been able to get anything done. the only thing harry reid is guilty of is not rearranging the filibuster rules that would be advantageous to the american public. i have a sticker on my car that says "keeping millions out of work to put one man out of a job." that has been the republican agenda all along. president obama is doing what he is doing not at his whim but at the majority of the people's women. host: john, a republican and color. the head. caller: -- republican caller. go ahead. caller: i do not have a problem with president of? using the the executive order. george washington used the executive order. harry truman used the executive order. i might disagree with some of the things that president obama does, but i will not say that he has become a dictato
